DiCaprio is with Nolan at “Inception”

Christopher Nolan will give us a glimpse into the architecture of Leo’s mind.

Variety reports that Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming sci-fi film “Inception.” This will be “The Dark Knight” director’s next project, meaning that a Batman III is pretty far down the road.

All that’s been said about “Inception” is that it is “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” In other words, it fits in thematically with the rest of Nolan’s work. (So who’s the architect? Please, Mr. Nolan, step away from Frank Lloyd Wright. So overdone for all those mind houses.)

DiCaprio is always up for a challenge and likes to work with directors of note; I often suspect that he picks projects more by who is directing than the actual script itself. But with this kind of plot description, who will he be playing? I’m voting for a neurologist.
